About .ist
A short-form geographic ending for Istanbul, functionally overlapping with the fuller .istanbul, and the two have historically existed as separate, competing endings for the same city rather than one being an abbreviation issued by the other. Local businesses generally favor whichever is shorter or already matches their brand.
Suits: Istanbul businesses and brands preferring the shorter three-letter form.
It is one of 19 city and region endings in the catalog.
What a .ist costs
$60 a year. One flat shelf price in dollars, drawn from your credit balance — there is no first-year discount that triples at renewal, and no fee for the privacy, because the name is registered in our name by default rather than as a paid extra.
The catalog lands on 5 price bands, and .ist sits in the $60 one alongside 122 other endings. 19 endings are cheaper and 246 cost more.
| Term | Price | Per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | $60 | $60 |
| 2 years | $120 | $60 |
| 3 years | $180 | $60 |
| 5 years | $300 | $60 |
| 10 years | $600 | $60 |
DNS on the name is included and never billed. This registry does not offer DNSSEC.
Registering a .ist anonymously
Offbook never asks who you are. Opening an account takes an email address you invent, a password and an invite code — no legal name, no address, no phone number, no card and no identity documents. Funding is crypto, so no bank or processor is in a position to demand them.
The .ist is then held in our name rather than yours, so the public record has nothing of yours to show. You keep operational control of the name — DNS, renewals and where it points — from the desk or through the API. Read more on anonymous domain registration.

Nothing on file. Nothing to leak.
An email you invent, an invite code, and crypto. That is the entire relationship.
